Take care of the poor

October 21, 2004|The Morning Call

Why should our president focus so much on improving the living conditions of Iraqis if our own society still needs improvement? The president should be more concerned about our own people. Many people in the United States do not have a job. For many days, their families may go without an adequate amount of food. Their children also may not receive proper schooling.

If something is not done about this soon, our country as a whole will no longer be successful. It is not that I do not believe in supporting countries in need. It is just that I believe that for the president of the United States, domestic problems should take priority. Our president should do something to improve the lives of those who are poor and homeless, in addition to helping those who are suffering in Iraq.
